"Chants of a Lifetime" Krishna Das at the Wanderlust's Speakeasy

- Join Krishna Das (acknowledged as the Chant Master of American Yoga by the New York Times) as he shares how he entered into the practice of chanting and what it means to him today, as well as his relationship with Maharaj-ji.
Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern
instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called yoga's "rock star." With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das -- known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD -- has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time, with over 300,000 records sold.
KD spent the late '60's traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass' own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji.
Given the name Krishna Das, KD began to chant as part of following the path of Bhakti yoga -- the yoga of devotion.
After two and a half years with Maharaj-ji, returned to USA - alas, six months after his
return, word came that Maharaj-ji had died.
He took solace in music, finding peace and strength in both his Bhakti yoga practice as
well as in such heroes as Ray Charles, Van Morrison, Steely Dan, and Bruce Springsteen
(whom he laughingly calls "the Bodhisattva of New Jersey"). KD also co-founded
Triloka Records, a California-based label specializing in world music, releasing such
artists as Jai Uttal, sarod virtuoso Ali Akbar Khan, and legendary jazz musician/composer
Jackie McLean.
In 1994, KD started leading chant at Jivamukti Yoga Center, NYC, with an ever-growing
audience of yoga students which has led to chant with people all around the world.
Since 1996 KD has recorded 14 albums including his latest ones 'Heart as Wide as the World" and 'Chants of a Lifetime' (book + CD).
"The chanting just hits you and you want to be a part of it," KD promises. "That's the point of this whole thing. That's what cuts through all the 'stuff'. You get lit up. You don't have to know what it means."

Profound!! why it feels like crying...is it because i see a lot of dust accumulated in my heart!!
Nina is completely in love with Krishna Das . :P
Krishna Das you are Love and a gift to all of us. You are the example of what we are. Yes, it is grace. My gratitude to you has no words. It's all in the music; it's all in the chant. I see the beauty in your heart which you reflect back to us and show us who we truly are. You constantly bring me joy and hope!
absolutely heart opening
Beautiful!
KD is at a different level - he is clearly igniting interest in the millennial's to connect at a deeper level. Hope people get guidance to follow the right path
yes all is one!
this was so wonderful
Jai guru Hanuman ji.
Jai Neem Karoli ji maharaj.
Just listened to your book, and wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. It has touched me deeply and found me at the perfect time in life. Peace & Love my friend
thanx very much
Yes...11 yrs..the doorway!!
I could listen to him talk for hours and hours, he has such a gentle
soothing voice that draws you in
Jeffrey K was wondering if it was just me or is his voice so deeply laden with energy and calmness. Guess not!
@@mannion7646 l agree with you.. I think he is wonderful... I so much want to meet him.. Where does he stay?
His response about the question @ 37:00 that does the meaning of words matter. And then when he in his response says "that he does not know the deities or who they are" @ 39:17 . I mean its probably the most humbling response i have heard from a person seriously pracitcing a path. And his response of being open and honest about what he knows and doesnt really makes him what we call GREAT. KD my sincere regards and love to you...
What a lovely man...
Krishna Dass you're an inspiration to me. Your kirtan touches my soul and I love the chants immensely
He has done what many Indians can't do.I am indian and i know many Indians and western people also who are not clear on the concept of GOD.He is a blessed soul for sure!
His every word seems like a drop of the nectar and while listening to his Pravchana(speech) make me feel calm and relax
Very very great..! Very very beautiful..! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Krishna Das. You are a wise & experienced man. I am downloading and saving this video for the rest of my life. Namaste.
I somehow love kd.
The best and most friendly lecture..Ram Ram🙏🏾
Yes I get what you said on India. Also was staying in India when it was all colorful saris, everyone walking,and closer to BCE. Went back 35 years later to motorcycles and cell phones. Occasionally that past time was present time, cow herders in turbans in a vast pastoral setting or music in the temple. I stop then and wonder.
Thank you for existing, thank you for sharing your heart, thank you for the peace & the love, thank you for showing us home without any illusions.. i wish i knew your teachings and existence, your sweet soul before.. You are like a mirror to me that i could never dare to face it.. i hope i can continue with my life the way you showed us.. looking at our hearts more deeply.. but really.. it gets me and amazes me that there is someone like you in this world.. this is grace.. you are grace.. you are the love..thank you KD.. namaste..
I ❤ this man! Blessed to have met him last weekend. Just as funny,kind and loving as he seems in this video.
Krishna Das is awesome. He understands India better than Indians!
Fascinating, amusing, balanced. Thanks to Mindsprings for posting the link to this.
💐💝💐 Blesings to you all 💐💝💐Thanks for shering 💐🎀💐 this boutifoul video 💐💝💐 Greetings from DK 💐🎀💐🎀💝🎀💝💐💝💐
what a great teacher…love KD
I love krisna das
Love his honesty. Doesn't pretend to be holy or realized or above the rest of us. He's human, we're human and he shares his beautiful gifts and love for his guru with us. It's beautiful.
I am sure he is going to be a great Guru in his next birth. He is blessed. 🙏
This is his last birth
@@iamsurroundedbyidiots8592 hmm.
@@SumiOccult a person who get connected with enlightened being doesn't attain next birth
Ramana maharishi said
@@iamsurroundedbyidiots8592 not necessarily. Santanche hi apta te na hoti Santa. - Sant Tukaram. That means just being in the contact of enlightened beings or being close relatives of The Saints does not not make you Saint by default. You have to work towards enlightenment individually.
@@SumiOccult nah nah nah
I have not said being in contact with enlightened being will automatically convert you into enlightened
I have just said if the student is connected with guru then guru energy will work in student
Student maybe unaware of it but it keep on going throughout his life and at the end of his life,guru will enter his body and will
Finish his lifetime of karma and set him free irrespective of guru alive or dead
the best talk about spirit Ive ever heard! thanks
So helpful..honest words I can trust💛🙏
Beautiful Soul! Namaste :)
one thing is great in him every one is one, and clear,true emotion for his Guru. Chant and be happy. I have experienced it
GO SIR KRISHNA DAAS
I love krishna das

Hanuman challisa in kanchi dham

No. 1 saint of india and most most authentic. He has 1000's of stories.
37:46 great question
Buddism is atheism ( Prabupada, read his books) .
Did the master mean Buddha or booda "old man"?
@Nobel....He meant Buddha...the enlightened one....
@@lozimasubba5721 i think he meant budda - old man
@@mindatrest6838 I guess we'll never know!
Thanks for sharing 🙏
talks from the heart.
Jai siya ram gurudev 🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Expensive teeth: expensive glasses?
Your point is?
If you're a materialist that's all you will see Heather, like the hungry person only sees restaurants, and the thief only sees wallets.....
@@harrietsand9715 very true
Don't judge anyone
Isnt it one of the rudest things to do, to have the bottom of your foot showing, let alone pointing closely into the face of that girl sitting next to him.....most cultures would be mortified....
In India , to be at feet of your guru .. is respectful . It is called to be in his Panav(protection ) It was the girl's choice to be at his feet. I hope my answer helps
Isn't that "girl" Nina Rao?
That is an illusion of the Western culture...
Judgemental! You are missing the point! 🙏
Ram Dass said they would fight to kiss their guru's feet!
Be careful putting someone in a position of status, that will hinder your spiritual growth, yes, we have very interesting lives before us, some worthy of more attention than usual but on the spiritual path, we are equanimous, so, without further discourse, cheers!
